Geta: Sashimi, sushi and specialty rolls are the draw at this 20-seat restaurant, which has fans lining up for tables and takeout. The tiny kitchen churns out combination specials ($8.50-$8.95) like chicken teriyaki and crisp, lightly battered tempura served with rice, salad and miso soup. A sashimi combo ($13.50) with a dozen impeccable slices of seafood is definitely a bargain.
